I read an article a while back talking about BLTA when it first started trying to become an airline as we all know some 25 years ago. They won the route in an auction or something like that but, couldn't secure the necessary funds to proceed anywhere with the certification. I think they were just trying to get a loan or some help from the government. Eventually they had to re-purchase the route I think and that was more like 5-10 years ago maybe. I'm horrible with dates so I'm not exactly sure. But this time they had access to some funds maybe not as much as they would have liked. None the less they were able to start the certification progress. So to my knowledge most, if not all of the progress has been accomplished very recently. The article made it sound like they were practically dead in the water before the 2000 era. If you want I could dig around and see if I can find it for you. :3
